“The Paths to Publishing”
Listen to this audio about the three paths to getting published—big presses, small presses, and self-publishing—and how to figure out which is right for you.
“See How She Writes”
“Women Write Their Lives”
In February 2013, I had the great honor to sit on a panel with some truly illustrious women at the San Miguel de Allende Writers Conference. We talked about the stories we long to share, the stories that were hard to write, what makes good writing (ie, when your work is ready to publish), and the sheer power of releasing our words out into the world.
Lots of people have been asking for a recording of it, and here it is!
